The beloved comedian is returning to Green Bay for his first visit in nine years for a show at 7:30 p.m. April 12 at the Weidner Center.

The 77-year-old Cosby, known for such TV shows as "The Cosby Show," "Fat Albert" and "I Spy," last played the city in 2006 at the Time Warner Cable Theatre at the Resch Center. His most recent visits to the area have been at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton in 2009 and 2012.

Tickets for the Weidner show go on sale at 11 a.m. Oct. 10 at weidnercenter.com and through Ticket Star outlets, (800) 895-0071 and ticketstaronline.com.

The Cos culls his stand-up material from his own life experiences — warm and witty humor that centers on such basic cornerstones as parenting, men and women, children and grandchildren.
